On Monday, January 23, the Sacred Heart held another town hall meeting focused on “New Beginnings: How to Make 2023 Different and More Faithful.”
From our discussion, the obstacles that seem to stumble us, the obstacles that prevent us from gaining traction as true followers of Christ in our personal lives, and the obstacles that stall our lives. There was general consensus that we need to focus, individually and collectively, on getting over the . Be His hands and feet in our church community and in our larger world. We now have some great resources available to help us do this. This includes two excellent research groups and opportunities to support pregnant women and families in the community. Please stay tuned. The first of our research group is entitled Metanoia. This is the Greek word for the profound spiritual transformation that many of us crave. Metanoia transforms us from complacency to a radical relationship with Jesus. This 10-week series of his kicks off each session with a video from Father Dave Pivonka, creator of the popular ‘Wild Goose’ series that meant so much to us last year. We then discuss the questions it raises to deepen our understanding and experience of this ongoing conversion. The group will meet in Classroom 9 on Wednesdays from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Facilitated by Kathleen and Tim Morris, this class is already in progress, but you can join at any time. You don’t have to attend every week.
Spiritual Discernment is another study based on the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus and one of the most influential spiritual thinkers in history. His ideas are challenging, but his insights are invaluable for spiritual growth in modern society. This series uses a program developed by Fr. Timothy Gallagher is a prominent teacher, scholar and interpreter of Ignatian teachings for Christians today. It will be led by Sherry Glatzer and will meet in Room 9 at 6pm on Tuesday evenings.
This week we are also launching our annual baby bottle campaign to raise funds for clients of Brevard’s Center for Women. Pick up your bottle from the gathering area and return it to the Sanctuary Basket with your cash or check donation by February 26th. The center walks with women who are pregnant or may be pregnant and supports pre-pregnant women and their families. We also offer a fatherhood program after the baby is born. You can always join us for the Weekend Mass, which is held at 4:00 pm (English) and 7:00 pm (Spanish) on Saturdays and 8:00 am and 10:30 am on Sundays.

St. Patrick’s Church services at 1825 Rothman Highway. Recorded services can also be found on our website www.stpatricksbrevard.org. Pastor Nick Henderson preaches. The share house reception will also be held this Sunday. The nave has been completed, and we have been worshiping at the new house since New Year’s Day. Many people have contributed to this work, but a special thanks goes to our deacon and resident construction expert, Reverend Bob Shoup. Bishop Chandler Jones of Atlanta will preside over the building’s official dedication on February 4th. St. Patrick’s Church is a traditional, biblical mission, nourished by the grace of Christ, inspired by the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and humbled by the majesty of God the Father. At St. Patrick’s, our worship is through the Word and the Sacraments. You can expect a lot of Scripture. Every Sunday we read the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Psalms and the Gospels. You can expect to praise God with prayers and songs. If you’re looking for a Bible-true church, then St. Patrick’s Church is for you. We welcome all visitors (and families of trained dogs) with an open heart. Grow with us.
